Hi Tristan,
i use quota plugin from squirrelmail 1.4.6-1.4.9a since dovcot 1.rc7 up to
1.rc17 message size is reported as well as folder size.
You can also use the message size function included in squirrelmail
this works nice too at my install, i guess you have some configure
problem, which is not really related to a  dovecots bug
as far i remember you have to setup the right mutliplicator for kb
in the plugin to get it work right, try the squirrel inbuild funktion to
test , should be ok, be sure that you have imap server other in squirrel
imap setup and follow instructions in the squirrel faq for dovecot with
folders
Regards Robert
